If Tom Fulp retired. 2015-05-17 12:12:38

We all thought of it once, what would happen to Newgrounds if Tom Fulp retires.
I deleted the message that Tom Fulp sent me, but I remember he said this:

I would either give it to my kids, or sell it to the community or a company.
The last option scares me because, It could lead Newgrounds to it's ultimate destruction.
Although, I have always wanted to see Newgrounds ran by deeper pockets.

Honestly, I think the best one, is probably Tom Fulp's kids. I guess it would be the "family buisness".
I don't think anyone in the community has the power or time to run Newgrounds.

What do you think?

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm here to bring this site up and if he retires, I guess I could takeover. Though it all depends.

Tom Fulp won't retire, he's going to die in the year 2019 from a self inflicted gunshot wound because NG has gone to shit.

I would be so upset with the countless hours I've spent on NG that I'll never get back.

Yea, I farm Anal Penguins. Do something about it.

If the specific user has a lot of money to buy Newgrounds, you're all set.

His kids are still in diapers so at least we don't have to worry about him retiring any time soon.
I'd rather NG be a family business than have it be sold off to some faceless company.

Give me cash and receive arts!
